I read a post that mentioned Bitter Apple Spray. It sounds like a deterrent, but just to be sure....exactly what is it and if it is a deterrent, where can I get it and can I spray it on my feet and/or the cat?? (just two very important things that have to be protected from getting shredded)

Well, I don't think I would really put it on the cat, but if I can put it my feet or the bottom of my pant leg....I might actually be able to make dinner without feeling like I am dinner. Winston will just have to learn that the cat will probably never want to play with him, but it would be nice to be able to give the cat some peace.
I can hardly wait to get to a Petsmart.

Ummmm...teaching Winston is a whole other thread. I wanted to take him to obedience or manners school but the only place nearby won't take him until he's 6 months. That's just to teach him to sit/stay and lie down. (Shouldn't he know at least that by 6 months) The lady I called was kind of rude too...and I quote a beagle eh? You'll be wasting your time anyway, he can't learn anything
I really want him to learn LOTS before he's 6 months, put him in that class, and teach her a thing or two.

So far he can sit real well, but stay and lie down are way beyond him yet. And I'm as new at this as he is.
I'll take any help I can get!!

jen-n-jersey - thanks for your rant, I feel better now too!
Winston learned sit in about 3 seconds and still does it everytime!! Proof positive he can learn! (he learned how to get snacks)

I do have a couple books, but it's obvious Winston hasn't read them. I'll still take any tips, tricks, or sneaky little maneuvers that anyone can offer!!
